any

paddle. any ( x, axis=None, keepdim=False, name=None ) [source]

Computes the logical or of tensor elements over the given dimension, and return the result.

Parameters

  • x (Tensor) – An N-D Tensor, the input data type should be bool.

  • axis (int|list|tuple, optional) – The dimensions along which the logical or is compute. If None, and all elements of x and return a Tensor with a single element, otherwise must be in the range \([-rank(x), rank(x))\). If \(axis[i] < 0\), the dimension to reduce is \(rank + axis[i]\).

  • keepdim (bool, optional) – Whether to reserve the reduced dimension in the output Tensor. The result Tensor will have one fewer dimension than the x unless keepdim is true, default value is False.

  • name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Results the logical or on the specified axis of input Tensor x, it’s data type is bool.

Return type

Tensor

Examples

>>> import paddle

>>> x = paddle.to_tensor([[1, 0], [1, 1]], dtype='int32')
>>> x = paddle.assign(x)
>>> x
Tensor(shape=[2, 2], dtype=int32, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[[1, 0],
 [1, 1]])
>>> x = paddle.cast(x, 'bool')
>>> # x is a bool Tensor with following elements:
>>> #    [[True, False]
>>> #     [True, True]]

>>> # out1 should be True
>>> out1 = paddle.any(x)
>>> out1
Tensor(shape=[], dtype=bool, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
True)

>>> # out2 should be [True, True]
>>> out2 = paddle.any(x, axis=0)
>>> out2
Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=bool, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[True, True])

>>> # keepdim=False, out3 should be [True, True], out.shape should be (2,)
>>> out3 = paddle.any(x, axis=-1)
>>> out3
Tensor(shape=[2], dtype=bool, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[True, True])

>>> # keepdim=True, result should be [[True], [True]], out.shape should be (2,1)
>>> out4 = paddle.any(x, axis=1, keepdim=True)
>>> out4
Tensor(shape=[2, 1], dtype=bool, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[[True],
 [True]])
